plagiarism

Hai.. hai..
Plagiarism in its simplest explaination is stealing for me. It is about stealing the intellectual property. STudents often feel the need to plagiarize when they they don't understand their assignments or concept or when they have no time to adequately prepare for turning in an assignment.

Offering ample time in class for questions or doing one-on-one conferences outside of class with students can help alleviate this feeling. However, students often cheat and plagiarize because it's easy or they think they won't get caught.

Some common penalties that can happen if found cheating in a college is Lowering a student's grade on the assignment. Depending on the severity of the crime, some people may be suspended or even expelled and can lose their scholarship. There are a lot of new websites that are starting to help identify the cheating. This allows teachers to get a broader view of where they are looking because most of the programs check across the whole internet for that same sentence. An example of one would be PlagarismDetect.com. They offer a free account that can check the paper against the whole web. These are becoming very common now days among teachers because of the reliability of them.Plagiarism can be found in may forms such as sever as downloading an entire paper from the Internet, and copy paste the others paper. All over the world students and even adults are losing jobs, scholarships, and getting sued because they can’t think of something to say or they like how someone else said it and don’t give them credit. And no matter how we cheat or even if we did not mean to it is still wrong.
